Hundreds of demonstrators were marching the streets of Los Angeles on the same day as a nationwide movement protesting President Donald Trump's plans for mass deportations.

Draped in Mexican and Salvadoran flags, roughly 1,000 demonstrators gathered near City Hall shortly before noon, blocking traffic at Spring and Temple streets.

Thousands, many with Mexican flags and signs containing phrases such as “Viva Mexico” and “Nobody is illegal,” participated in the protest in Los Angeles.
